BA/BS in Englisch

Readers who were drawn to Shakespeare, Mark Twain or Ray Bradbury at school, and who found English lessons to be more than vocabulary drills, are the target group for this teacher-training subject. Students examine the English language, its grammatical rules and how it has altered over time, and they study English literature and a range of historical background. Part of the instruction is delivered in English. Teaching takes place in German and English. The course lasts six semesters and contributes 60 credits towards a degree totalling 180 in the whole degree. Students may begin in either the summer or the winter term. No numerus clausus applies, so anyone who satisfies the formal conditions for enrolment can begin. Prospective students should consult the subject page on the Paderborn website, where module descriptions, entry requirements and information events are listed, before applying.
